IG is going to lose out, they play in a harder split but it really looks like complexity and definitely Na'Vi are sand bagging slightly. i know dendi is like the best pudge ever but come on, do you honestly think they are going to run pudge in half their games when this thing seriously starts up?

those are like starcraft numbers and the thing with SC is they get people that do not play to watch. only people that play dota watch dota b/c you just simply will not understand it unless you play. id say 100-115k would be like the ceiling at this point. there are about 60k streaming right now, how many are watching in game?

game 2 orange and igd was really good.

edit: actually, 150k for a big SC tourny is kinda low now that i think about it

eh after SC DOTA is probably the second largest legit Esport (not counting LoL in that) so it is a smart move. there is also a pretty big cross over between the high level dota players and SC. i know a lot of the asian guys and a few euro guys play, or played, both competitively

I'm not, DotA has been around for almost 10 years. Anyone sad to see EG lose it? How about Na'Vi stopping the sandbagging?

EG played well, i was surprised to say the least. i thought it was going to be an *** kicking tbh.

Na'Vi looked great. to stomp DK then play them well 2 games in a row and win out is not easy.

my biggest disappointment was in CoL. they picked horribly in game 3 and just looked bad. hopefully they can make a run through the losers bracket. they have Ehome in their first losers bracket game too...talk about a bad break.

they like DK because DK is chinese and has arguably the best carry player in the world. the chinese teams were kind of a mystery coming into this but have been steam rolling. Na'vi won the best of 3, didnt see the last game but they flattened them in G1

and hooooooooooooly **** Na'Vi v. IG game 2...easily some of the craziest big plays ever from na'vi. watch that game, it is strait up legendary status

darer was built only to play in the I2. they were going to break up afterwards from the get go. M5 broke up as well, but you could see that coming from a mile away. the 2 big names are God and vigoss. where they end up could easily change the face of the dota team power structure considering those are probably 2 of the top 10 players in the world (gods is easily a top 5 IMO).

rumor is Na'Vi was thinking about parting with AA but i heard that largely before the international. he played pretty lights out during I2 so no clue what will happen there. vigoss and gods cant exactly fill AA's roll either.
